Description

Packera aurea's  mass of yellow daisy-like blooms appear in clusters atop wiry stems over dark green foliage in late spring. Also known as Senecio aurea, it spreads slowly to form dense mats of heart-shaped leaves. Commonly called Golden Ragwort, it may be a bit weedy, but it is great for natural areas and a favorite plant for pollinators.

Packera aurea is native to the eastern half of North America. It is commonly found in wet deciduous woods, damp woodland clearings, sandy swamps, along lakes and riverbanks, in moist meadows and abandoned fields. Golden Ragwort spreads by seed and underground roots and may form colonies in shady, moist woodlands. 

Packera aurea prefers light to mostly shade and moist to well-drained soil.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
